In School Program

In School Program began in 2009 at John C. Clark Elementary and Middle School. Currently, over 200 students and 20 teachers, from 13 classrooms (every Kindergarten – 6th grade class) receive a visit from Husky Sport once per week. This enrichment program is built into school time class schedules just like music, art, and gym class. Curriculum is developed to meet the identified needs and interests of Clark School teachers and students, and then implemented by a consistent leadership team of Husky Sport staff.

Points of emphasis for In School Program:

Student, teacher, and Husky Sport collaborative learning
